• Eddie 'Ed' Fields : Ya daffy little tahmata, I'm bugs about ya. I'd marry ya myself, if I wasn't already married.

• Joan Gordon, aka Francine La Rue : I've been up and down Broadway since I was fifteen years old. I'm fed up with hoofing in shows. I'm sick of night clubs, hustlers, bootleggers, chislers, and smart guys. I've heard all the questions and I know all the answers. And I've kept myself... fairly respectable through it all. The whole atmosphere of this street gives me a high-powered headache. I've got a chance to breathe something else, and boy, I'm grabbing it.

  Joan Gordon, aka Francine La Rue : Positive.
